Should be great for Asian opinion of Westerners, more tourism. Japanese governments wants much more tourism, for the money that's in it, and seems to have even started to increase the foreign workforce. End of Japanese society as we know it if it continues to the inflection point, and we could have a kind of messy Japan, a more economicly energetic Japan perhaps, which is appealing to governments, which, once they get a certain leeway away from accountability to their culture and society, generally always sell the value of their citizens to foreigners for personal/class gain. ... Lower culture tourists don't make great guests, like Mainland Chinese in most countries, remarked on by all for their rudeness, like many Westerners in Asia, but the other way around it works nicely, like Japanese in any other country, and most Asians usually in any other country.
Japan also has reports that foreign shoplifters are causing Japan to implement tighter security in stores. Costs born by individuals and businesses which are not the same ones as those who benefit from the increased tourism, necessarily.
